I feel that half the board is wanting an athletic, defensive minded, off ball players.
And the other half want to risk assets to trade up for a star draft player that gets right away into the starting lineup.
I rather go with the former, than latter. And mainly because of 21-22 season, where we have no draft picks and where the main focus will be to sign a Star Player. THAT PLAYER will be your creator/starter/clutch player that adds another playmaker.
I understand the Win-now concept, but your Win-now is short-sighted if the player you gain doesn't pan out. You've created a Clippers dilemma (trade all draft assets for a Paul-George).
Rather, go for the build of young, coachable, hustle players. I can only think of 1 athletic/hustle wing with DFS, all the others are decent athletically. I really hope Donnie doesn't trade up and give up assets, unless their last name is Wright or Jackson.
My draft rank would be something like this (without trading up beyond #10):
Depending on our Free agency, we're already loaded in centers (KP, Cauley-Stein, DP, Boban). Thats why I didn't feel like putting Achiuwa, Stewart or Azubukie. Those positions are already limited in minutes.

My draft rank would be something like this (without trading up beyond #10):
- Vassell - 6'7 Height, 6'10 Wingspan.The ideal 3D wing, has great motor on both sides, great shotblocker.
- Nesmith - 6'6 Height, 6'10 WS. 23 PPG player, great size and strength with defensive improving by year.
- T.Bey - 6'7 H, 7'1 WS. The combine's record setter, athletic freak, his length will bother positions 1-5.
- S.Bey - 6'8 H, 6'10 WS. High defensive IQ and on team defense. Knows how to defend from post to perimeter.
- Woodard - 6'7 H 7'1 WS. NBA ready body. Strength and length would put him against Lebrons and Kawhis.
- Ty. Aelxander - 6'4 H 6'8 WS. Best guard defender in the draft, would make it harder for Lilard, Curry type guards.
